GFS likes throwing out some very intense storms out of the mass of lows in the atlantic in some of its runs. The latest (00z) throwing one into the south, giving 50-65 mph widely, increasingly very much so into the channel!

Few days ago it threw one slightly more North, giving 70-80mph widely in the south, although I didnt take a proper picture of that, so you can have this:

Certainly makes me wonder if at least somewhere gets a rather late-notice strong storm making its way across the UK.

Note: Everything I say can sometimes be entirely wrong. Never ever take my word as gospel. Ever... EVER
